Some basic info about me: 22yrs old, single, no kids, work 10hrs a week at $12 an hour, not pregnant, in Florida, no one is claiming me for taxes
I lost coverage through my parents on 12/31/21. Went on healthcare.gov and filled out the application, and it calculated my yearly income to be slightly over $6000. In the pdf I got sent immediately after submitting the application, it says that based on the info I provided I’m not eligible for free or low cost health care. I then went through marketplace and almost every plan had an enormous deductible ($8700) and a high monthly payment.
I have no idea what I’m supposed to do. I have Crohn’s disease, which means that if I don’t see a doctor frequently and take certain medications I could end up in a very dire situation. I’m also not understanding how a yearly income of $6000 is not considered poor enough for them, and how I was offered plans that cost more than what I make in a year.
So I guess what I really need now is advice and information. Has anyone been in a similar situation as me and found an affordable plan? Are there any other legit websites besides healthcare.gov for people like me? And any other general advice or information you have I’d love to hear.
Thanks in advance
